“Lights!”  “Camera!” “Action!”  Before any of these commands can be shouted on a soundstage, somebody’s got to come up with a great idea that everyone else will want to be a part of. Whether their job is to cry on cue, focus the camera, or ensure that none of the paychecks bounce, they're all in the picture because of one person — the screenwriter whose imagination gave them an exciting starting point.  Could that person be you?  Within these pages, you’ll not only discover what skills are required to write a screenplay for today’s market but also what kind of factors dictate which ideas get gobbled up faster than a holiday turkey and which ones go the way of a fruitcake. You'll also learn how to acquire and adapt pre-existing material for a screenplay; how to find markets for the kinds of films you want to write; how to predict what tomorrow's audiences will want to see; and how to work successfully with partners, agents, script consultants and independent producers.  Most importantly, "Could It Be A Movie" reinforces the fact that not every great idea translates well to the silver screen. Perhaps a different medium - plays, novels, short stories - could be your true calling as a storyteller. This is the book that will help you discover which road on your wordsmithing journey will take you where you want to be.

Twenty exceptional writers share their true stories of love, loss, missteps, chance encounters, do-overs, and the musing of “woulda/coulda/shoulda” moments that make us so uniquely human.

“You’ll probably starve,” my mother said when I moved into my first studio apartment. This wasn’t just a reflection of her belief that any career in the arts (but especially the theatre) would doom me to certain poverty; it was a fact-based observation that the extent of my culinary skills up until I turned 20 involved making toast, heating soup and putting frosting and sprinkles on store-bought shortbread cookies. Determined to prove her wrong, I bought a cookbook, stocked my new little kitchen with pans and utensils, and recruited my fellow actors for fun after-rehearsal dinners. The memories—and the menus—live on in this essential guide for anyone with (aspiring) champagne taste on a (starving artist) beer budget.
